Top 5 Accounts Payable Extended Solutions
In 2010, Sage Software turned over their entire Extended Solutions catalog to the Sage Development Partners. During the last 4 years, DSD Business Systems has taken the time to re-develop these enhancements to meet our standards. DSD Business Systems now has almost 300 Extended Solutions available, for various versions of Sage 100 ERP.
During the analysis and development of these Extended Solutions, I found a number of them to be brilliant ideas – products that I wish I had thought of first. For this latest blog series, I am presenting my favorite Extended Solutions by Module. Here are my Top 5 Accounts Payable Extended Solutions, in no particular order:
1. AP-1058 A/P Security by Division
There are a dozen Extended Solutions that enhance User Security, and AP-1058 is one of those solutions. With this enhancement, users have the ability to select which User Codes have access to records for a specific Division Numbers. Users that do not have access to a specific Division will not be able to view vendor information, create invoices, run reports, or access history inquiry for vendors in that division. This enhancement is ideal for companies will multiple AP clerks.
2. AP-1085 Multi-Company Vendor Synchronization
This enhancement is perfect for users who have multiple company codes that share the same vendors. Any additions or changes to vendors in one company can be automatically copied to other company codes. This ensures that vendor information is accurate across all companies.
3. AP-1102 Automatic Next Vendor Number
Have you ever wondered why Sage 100 ERP has a Next Customer Number feature, but not Next Vendor Number? With AP-1102, you now can set up a Next Vendor Number sequence, and assign the Next Number form Vendor Maintenance, A/O Invoice Data Entry, and A/P Manual Check Entry.
4. AP-1118 A/P Invoice Date as Posting Date
With Sage 100 ERP, you are required to select the Posting Date during the Invoice Register process, and every invoice uses that Posting Date. With AP-1118, you can use the A/P Invoice Date as the Posting Date. This is helpful if you have the need to synchronize Invoice and Posting Dates for Trial Balance purposes.
5. AP-1073 Multi-Company Checks /AP-1016 Multiple Divisions/Companies on Checks
I’ve listed these two products together because they both have Multi-Company features that work well with each other. AP-1073 allows checks to be created, in one company, for invoices from other companies. AP-1016 allows same-vendor invoices across divisions and companies to be combined together. Both products also work well with the DSD Business System Enhancement, APMU Multi-Company.
